Effectiveness

BitDefender is the highest rated most effective antivirus software. In recent tests, BitDefender received their highest rating for having removed 98% of all viruses and spyware in their rigorous tests. One of the key features BitDefender has developed is a virtual machine that runs invisibly in the background on your computer where it tests suspicious code, which is code that looks like a virus but doesn't currently match any of the known virus signatures. In this way, BitDefender can protect your computer from viruses no one has reported yet. BitDefender is great at removing viruses and spyware, it excels at protecting your system from incoming viruses. The new BitDefender can actually strip viruses from your incoming HTML stream before the virus makes it to your browser. The only disadvantage being BitDefender scans at a slower rate than some of its competitors.

Updates

Any antivirus software should be updated to maintain overall effectiveness. BitDefender updates its virus signatures every hour unless the time interval is adjusted by the user.

Ease of Use and Installation

BitDefender has the install and forget approach. In less than a half an hour, you can download, install, follow the prompts, re-boot your system and provide a protective shield to your system. It scanned boot-up files, recently accessed files, packed files and incoming and outgoing emails. For those who want more aggressive protection, BitDefender can be enabled to scan HTTP blocks on port 80 and 443 for malicious ActiveX and JavaScript which is optional.

Pros and Cons

BitDefender is nearly everything you’ll want in easy-to-use, highly-effective antivirus and antispyware software.  It offers a consistent high performance in protecting your computer, ease of use and installation.

BitDefender scans at a slower rate than some of its competitors. The product needs to upgrades their tech support and improve their uninstall utility to make it a nearly perfect product. Bit Defender uses about 60MB of hard disk space which is more than Kaspersky and NOD32, but about 1/3 of the space required for Norton AntiVirus.
